Same issue on CentOS-5 here pointing back to Adobe building for a newer
glib2 version than the one available on the old but supported RHEL-5
clones version.

On RHEL-6 clones, /lib*/libgio-2.0.so.0 is provided by
glib2-2.28.8-4.el6*, which does not exist in the glib2-2.12.3-4.el5_3.1*
provided on the RHEL-5 clones.

flash-plugin-11.2.202.540-3.slc5 changelog hinted:

* Mon Oct 19 2015 Jaroslaw Polok <[log in to unmask]> - 11.2.202.540-3
- remove flash-player-properties binary on SLC5 (needs libgio-2.0 not
  available ...)

Alas, ldd on libflashplayer.so finds a dependancy on  libgio-2.0.so.0 
on both i386 and x86_64 versions.

Unless Adobe fixes that, there is no way that we can run the
flash-plugin on RHEL-5 clones.

Just my 2 cents
